and

Moderated by

SHERLE SCHWENNINGER
World Policy Institute Senior Fellow

The world economy is still struggling to overcome the excesses of the 1990s that resulted in the biggest financial bubble in modern world economic history. Today overcapacity in many key industries, an over-leveraged American consumer, deflationary pressures in Europe and Japan, and austerity in much of the developing world--all these factors are restraining normal economic growth. In the face of these conditions, what are the most appropriate strategies for promoting economic growth and prosperity in the near term? And how do these strategies differ from current policies being pursued in Washington?

Thursday, April 10, 2003, 6:00-7:30 p.m. Swayduck Auditorium, First Floor, 65 Fifth Avenue (between East 13-14th). Admission is free.

RSVP 212-229-5808 ext. 4272 to reserve seating or e-mail: wpi@newschool.edu if you need special accommodations, please call at least five days in advance.
